Haul | MAC 266 Brush

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER! I have finally completed my GCSEs and now face a dread 2 month wait for results day, but I am going to try enjoy it as much as possible 'cause it's going to be the last Summer that I am going to be somewhat carefree with no revision before I start A Levels. My last exam was Physics and it went awful, but I have gotten to the stage where I simply do not care and I am just so happy I'm off school for two months!

Anyhow, today I went into town with my bestie after our exam and shopped around for a bit before travelling to the next town and back for no apparent reason. Whilst I was shopping around yesterday, Debenhams had a 10% off sale for all beauty items, but I was so stupid that I didn't buy the brush yesterday but I ended up paying an extra £1.60...sigh...but here it is - my first MAC brush, I have been wanting a MAC brush for ages but never knew which one to go for, so today I had got my eyebrows threaded (it hurts but it's worth it) and I decided to go for Tanya Burr's favourite for her eyebrows, I have yet to try it out, but it feels so nice!

Life | Grandad's 70th Birthday

I do love bubbles
My brother and I with the awesome cake my Mom and I made

How adorable were my baby cousin's socks?!

Perhaps the two biggest posers in my family

I absolutely adore this photo

he was happier than he looks...I think

WHY IS MY BROTHER POUTING?!

EXCITED!!!

...and I shall finish this post off with a birthday cake
Ahh, this is procrastination at its best! I am actually in the midst of typing up some English Language Practice Questions to send to my teacher by tomorrow, but apparently I decided I wasn't getting anywhere so I would do a blog post...I do love my logic. Anyhow, my Grandad celebrated his 70th birthday this Sunday and it was so nice to have a whole family gathering after not seeing some of my cousins, aunts and uncles for over 2 months (exams and revision just demolish any chances of having a social life hey?). I thought that I would share a few of the 500 snaps that I took that day as there are some really precious photos and my baby cousins and I, and obviously the cake that my Mom but (I decorated it!) looked pretty darn magnificent - tasted delicious too!

I had an absolute blast on Sunday and I finally got to see my baby cousin awake! The previous times I've visited him he was always asleep and the other day he was so happy and smiling! And my 3 year old cousin is developing into such a little poser, as you can probably tell from the photos above.

Right, I'd best finish off my practice paper or I'll never get the grade I want...#sadface

Haul | Smashbox Lipglosses

Wassup!

So as I mentioned in my previous post, I went to Swindon Designer Outlet with my family today. And up till the very end, it was a very unsuccessful trip; I thought I found my dinner and dance shoes in Kurt Geiger, but when I asked for my size, the lady said that she can give me two different colours - what's the point in that?! Anyways, I later popped into The Cosmetic Company Store and bought two Smashbox lipsglosses as they're usually £14, but a mere £10 in outlet! I shall be posting a review later this week - so stay tuned for that!



Love, Nicole
